The demand for access to Tennessee baseball has never been higher. The Volunteers arrived on the national baseball stage this year, taking home the SEC East crown and earning a No. 3 national seed in the NCAA Tournament. After a perfect showing in the Knoxville regional, the Vols advance to a super regional matchup against the LSU Tigers.
Ticket demand for this weekend is through the roof. Tennessee sold out quickly, leaving plenty of fans without even a chance of getting in the gate. Knowing they had a problem on their hands, the athletics department worked quickly. Following the suggestion of Jayson Swain, Danny White and his team organized a watch party outside of Lindsey Nelson.
We heard you, #VolNation!
